Citizen TV Sports Editor Mike Okinyi has been appointed as the Media, Broadcasting and Communication Director for the 2020 World Under-20 Athletics Championships.

Okinyi, who will be deputised by the Sports Journalists’ Association of Kenya (SJAK) President Chris Mbaisi, was appointed as part of the Organising Committee that will be chaired by Athletics Kenya President Lt. Gen (Rtd) Jackson Tuwei.

The appointments were made by the immediate former Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Culture and Heritage Rashid Echesa under Gazette Notice Number 1911 before his sacking on Friday.

Former Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) director Michael Rabar was appointed Chief Executive Officer and will be deputized by Mary Mwaki.

Nairobi was picked to host the biennial world championships last year in July on the back of hosting an outstanding final edition of the IAAF World U18 Championships in 2017.

The competition has been scheduled for 7-12 July 2020.
